So! Just finished the motherload of assignments and just one paper left to go in this frantic/feverish exam season. Haven't had time to blog much, been skipping devotional time out. Glad for this break! Tis' the time to reconnect with God.
Woah. wait a minute here.
Whats wrong with this picture here?
Tis' the time to reconnect with God?
How in the first place did u manage to disconnect yourself from God?
Ahh....yes
the assignments, the studying, the stress, no time to sleep, the exams.
ok first of all. All the above aside, God should be put ahead of all those
other commitments in the first place. We dont take rainchecks from Mr Obama or Mr Rudd if we were actually scheduled to meet them. Why should God need to wait for us till we finish our other commitments before taking time out with Him? He is after all, the creator of the universe, He deserves no less attention from us.
secondly, God doesn't actually ask much of us. An hour a day with Him? half an hour even. Thats a mere 2 to 4% of our time with Him perday.
thirdly, time out with God is an excellent way of destressing. He is ever willing to hear our rants. He teaches us new things everyday, He is a great comforter as well. You find yourself better equipped and more refreshed when taking time with God before facing assignments or the books.
As hard as it is to say this, God isn't our friend with benefit.
He isn't the one who we turn to when we need, and just postpone, ignore
when we're busy. Yes by all means turn to him when in times of need, but when we're
fine and dandy, God still deserves the attention and time. Same applies when we feel like time constraints just isn't permitting time out for God.
Yeah so u gotta chill out and just come back to God.
Now don't you dare go and give him another raincheck!
